Conviction of certain crimes may prevent completion of the clinical requirements of
the program and may prevent future licensure and employment in health care. A criminal
record check is required prior to any clinical training experience or clinical field
trips. If you have a criminal record, meet with the WC Dean of Allied Health to determine
if your criminal history would prevent access to a health care facility. Please call
(509) 682-6660 for more information.
